Washington (CNN)You'll soon be getting a message on your phone from the President of the United States -- whether you are a supporter or not.
It's not a political message, but an emergency test message sent from President Donald Trump as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's system to warn the public in cases of national emergencies. A majority of cell phone users will receive an alert on Thursday, September 20, with the header "Presidential Alert" and the message, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed." WEA was technically launched in April of 2012, but this will be the first time FEMA has tested the system on the presidential level in hopes to work out the kinks, the agency said in a press release this week. The presidential alert is one of three kinds of alerts in the FEMA's WEA system, which also notifies the public about extreme weather or missing children, also known as AMBER alerts. You can expect to see the alert pop up on your phone at 2:18 p.m. ET so long as you have your phone turned on, are within range of a cell tower, and if your wireless provider is part of the WEA system. The WEA test will be broadcast over the course of about 30 minutes and sound the same as an AMBER Alert. Users can't opt out of the presidential alert test, according to FEMA. More than 100 carriers, including the largest carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile), will participate in the emergency alert test, FEMA said. FEMA will also run a test of its Emergency Alert System (EAS) for radio and television broadcasters the same day, beginning two minutes after the WEA test.

First, for the Q haters, read another thread as this will be fake to you and Sessions is asleep and all that jazz. If you are "woke", then read further.
This story was posted on Q today...why CNN has it, I seriously believe it is no accident...PDJT is likely responsible...that is rich!
Q told us such "emergency management broadcasting" was in the works...and the TV part, too!!!
Once in place, Twitter will be irrelevant to PDJT!
Winning!
Nixon had wanted to do this wityh TVs, but ultimately decided it was too Big Brotherish.
I don’t want mandatory messaging unless I request it. Now it is Trump, but someday there will be another Clinton or Obama.
“Q told us such “emergency management broadcasting” was in the works...and the TV part, too!!!”
I read an article last month about the Presidential emergency broadcast system being operational in Sept.
okay by me
You can always go to Whitehouse.gov and get firsthand info there
How is this different than what the Democrats came up during the 0 Administration that infuriated us?
No one needs Q for this information, and the president is not going to use an emergency broadcast system to send out all his political messages.
This is NOT a test.
Maxine Waters is headed your way with a herd of her feral followers carrying machete’s & axes.
Arm accordingly.
MAGA
This started with Overlord Obama:
“*WEA was technically launched in April of 2012*, but this will be the first time FEMA has tested the system on the presidential level in hopes to work out the kinks, the agency said in a press release this week. The presidential alert is one of three kinds of alerts in the FEMA’s WEA system, which also notifies the public about extreme weather or missing children, also known as AMBER alerts.”
A person on another forum , when I mentioned that the President cannot abuse the system, well this genius (who happens to be a liberal college professor) mentioned that 'no other President has ever had to have this disclaimer made for them'. I haven't mentioned to him yet that no other President has had to have it made BECAUSE THE DAMNED SYSTEM HADN'T EXISTED BEFORE.
Since they're also going to do the EAS Test 2 minutes later, one hopes that they have ironed the bugs out and they do better than last time.
Not sure why I get optimistic and post anything here anymore. Alas, I’ve learned my lesson. Too much alum consumption here.
Correct!
It’s disgusting that CNN and NBC so Effing politicize this, like everything.
They get worse and worse.
Hate it.
The ultimate tool for our Troller-in-Chief:
15-20 “Tweets” per day to all of the Obamaphones out there!!!
Heads
Will
Explode
OMG that is sooo funny. I love that alert. ROFL
I love Trump but I don’t want to be woken up with his ratings or his anger against Rosie. Emergency info is for actual emergencies.
“...okay by me...”
Yeah, but this should send some liberals right off the cliff.
Good news all around.
Trump can wake me up with remarks on Rosie anytime. I would laugh!
FEMA to test emergency alert system next week
